Here's the Most Uncomfortable Way to Start a Blind Date Ever

Blind dates (or first online dates for that matter) can be intimidating and, frankly, downright scary. You need to take precautionary steps to ensure your safety, and one woman took one I always recommend: Letting a friend know where she'd be and who she'd be with. (I do this before dates and, lately, before looking at apartments too!)

Hahahahahaha. I am blushing a little for this woman, but I can't stop laughing. Tip of the hat to her date, James, who handled it with humor and grace, and clearly understood that hey, a girl's gotta protect herself. Still, I really wish we could get a video of the first five minutes of this date.

Do you do this before a date too? Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person? Was it as awkward as this?
